Keep using Codex, Claude Code, Qoder, Pi or DeepSeek Harness. With a difficulty-routing plan, HiRoute
judges each new message: routine work such as reading code or gathering facts can go to an
economical model, while design decisions and difficult fixes stay with your subscription or
primary model. Subscriptions, API keys and local models are managed in one place, and each
session shows which model actually ran, its usage and its cost. Independent tasks can also be
delegated to other agents.
Tool calls within a turn usually keep that turn's decision, so the growing context prefix stays
cacheable. HiRoute decides again on a new user message, or when a context rebuild breaks the
previous continuation, and may keep the same model; cache reuse depends on the provider. HiRoute
runs locally as a Desktop application or a headless CLI and daemon.

## Why HiRoute
| | |
| --- | --- |
| **Route long tasks by stage** | Use the model that fits the work ahead instead of committing an entire task to one model. |
| **Protect quality while saving** | Use observed competence to block risky downgrades, while task complexity creates opportunities to use economical models. |
| **Keep handoffs bounded** | Enforce capability requirements, ordered candidates, and explicit exhaustion instead of silently changing behavior. |
| **Learn from execution** | Retain the task category, actual model group and candidate, tool outcomes, accepted output, and optional stage competence for later decisions. |
HiRoute currently provides four routing modes: fixed model, difficulty routing, custom branches, and free first.
Each mode uses the plan's ordered candidates for bounded failover. It also provides agent work plans
and Worker delegation; local session, usage, cost, and competence views; and a custom extension API
for connecting your own decision service.
## Get started
### macOS Desktop
Download the current DMG from hiroute.ai, drag HiRoute into
Applications, and follow the self-signed package instructions if
macOS asks for manual approval. HiRoute supports macOS 15 or later on Apple silicon
(`arm64`) and Intel (`x86_64`).
### Linux headless
Install the current-user CLI and daemon on Linux `x86_64` or ARM64 (`aarch64`) without `sudo`:
